I use butter for my eggs and pork fat to lube the pan. but I cant handle really fatty meat unless it is crispy like pork belly. But I would have to eat so much pork belly as there is a lot of calories but not a lot of protein in it. like if I cooked a pound of it its more calories then a pound of lean hamburger but less then 1/2 the protein and I would end up hungry in the middle of the night. I had to start having some protein powder after I ate it. This is why it seems protein gives me more fuel then fat.
but even the way the protein is made or cooked makes a difference. I can eat any meat but if it is cooked in water it will bother me. I would make a stew out of the veggies I could handle and it would piss my body off. finally found out it was the meat cooked in water. I seemed fine with the egg white powder (I used the one with nothing else added) but after almost 5 pounds of it over the months my esophagus was screaming and I finally had to stop drinking it. as long as I don't have it every day it should be fine. but why? it is just egg whites. But this is the kind of wack I have to deal with and leaves doctors baffled.
the whole thing is jsut trail and error but I am sick of the effects I have when it fails as it most of the time does. this time it only took 4 days to start feeling better after stopping the egg whites.
I'm surprised you are not using whitefish, canned tuna packed in water and salmon as protein sources. All are pretty high, and boned Atlantic salmon is between $9 and $11 per pound at Whole Foods and at Costco, for an estimate of reasonable prices. Really lean ground beef is in the same ballpark here in Ann Arbor, and both are much leaner than $5 ground beef, at about 30% fat.

I don't have a carb problem, so I put reheated grilled whitefish or salmon over microwaved white rice with whatever else. Likewise, some canned with veg, chickpeas, olives and feta are also real nice. A 5-guys burger is a great occasional treat, but need not be a staple.

Bottom line: consider fish!

Also, Consumer Reports is reporting that ground chicken from many national sources has considerable bacteria which can themselves be harmful: E. coli and other bonafide nasties!
